Default RE: Need advice for a RC beginner...

I know the weather issue, here in FL it was high 70s and low 80s most of the week, and now I have to wear a long sleeve shirt and fly in mid 60s, what is next with this freaky weather???

Here are some links to check out while you're thawing in front of the computer. I'm so glad I left New Hampshire to seek the warmer climate. But don't worry, July and August I stay in the AC or fly only at sunrise to avoid the intense heat. Engines run slower in the humid summers here. to get the lingo down, read some magazines, subscribe to the RCReport magazine, pick up some Harry Higley books for accurate information and advice.

The Telemaster is a real classic, when you're done with it, send me a PM with a price, I still love flying those. With dihedral taken out of it and lots of rudder, they do a great flat spin. I learned on a kadet and Telemaster Senior, they are great planes to get landings down right being capable of the lowest approach speed of any plane I've tried to fiddle with. When you graduate from trainers, you should look into a $80 Sky Raider ll from airborne-models.com, it's a really easy to control plane, builds in just 3 hours, very forgiving and doesn't stall very easily. With the popular OS AX .46, it's pretty quick too.
